I live in Grand Rapids and am planning on taking a quilting store trip in a few weeks so I have just added 3 more stores to my list just by reading this thread, if anyone else has any really good places in Michigan let me know, my hubby and I are planning on a 5 day trip right now but he is awesome when it comes to trips like this and will gladly add miles and miles for me if I want to add shops to the list.

My recommendations:
Fabric Fair in Bay City
Front Porch in Frankenmuth
Gloria's Happy Hooker in Sault Ste. Marie
The Icehouse in Grayling
Hollyhock Quilt Shop in Harrisville(?) up the east coast on US-23
Material Mart in Midland
There's another one in Paradise (in the UP), but I don't recall the name offhand.

Happy travels!
